On with two coats of 383 green. The side panels/troop seats also got painted and put in place. I had found the mirror mounts difficult to paint around when priming, so undid the top strap to fold them out a bit. This showed that the lower parts were held on by sheet metal screws, and not very...

During the course of moving the truck about, I had discovered that the new master cylinder, put in during the previous brake work, had failed already. It was still under warranty, so the replacement was free, but it was still annoying to have to replace it so soon. I also found that the...

That is looking very good, Pawel! I think we talked about this before - the kit has a seam running along the curve of the nose side plate, this should be completely smooth. There is a small weld line at the rear of that plate, which it looks like you have added to your model. These are...

So, having poked one rust bubble, I decided to poke and scratch at a few more little ones, and they too revealed nastiness beneath. Nothing near the scale of the bed, but definitely needing attention. There were only a few, mostly below and behind the doors, and one ahead of the passenger...

Again, for a variety of reasons, this project stalled for a while, but we've been back at it for a few weeks. Remember the VFD Mad Driller? Well, his rapacious handiwork in the bed had to be addressed with the welder, particularly the holes in the wheel wells which would allow loads of dirty...

Looking forward to seeing your progress. What area of the gulf coast? Cheers

But you got it moved (I hope)? I'll have to zap you with this ;) - nopics Cheers

A most impressive setup! Your wiring pleases my somewhat compulsive desire for things to line up neatly. Cheers

Those look very good. I'm sure you have noticed that the doors have the exterior colour painted on the inside. The openings have a thin black rubber seal around the edges to help with water-tightness. Cheers

The Lizard Skin mentioned above, along with rubber floor mats, helped a lot with cab heat in my M1028A2. Cheers

That new grill does look much better than the kit item. The exhaust scoops may be a tiny bit shallow, but they look fine. I really admire the quality of your work! Cheers

Semper Fi, brother! (A 1/5) Cheers

A win by a nose! Congratulations Mike 634. I'd still like to see some details on that splendid CUCV Cheers

Usually no easy decisions in these votes, and this month definitely fits that ... Cheers

Mine fit perfectly in the bed of an M1028 (backed in). I'll measure the distance between the wheel wells, and the pertinent parts of the Mule, when I get home this afternoon. We had to stick a 2x12 under the front wheels to make sure the foot basket didn't scrape on the tailgate when closed...

Absolutely splendid! Cheers

Welcome aboard! That truck looks like it has worked hard, but is in good shape. Are your plans to restore it? Keep it 4x4? Cheers

Pawel, as always, happy to help with your project. :) Cheers...Rory

Pawel, it is a heavy steel cover to protect the steering cylinder and hydraulic hoses. It is 1/8" (about 4mm) thick and bolts to the hull. It should be on all V100s. Cheers

Condolences to you and your family, Patracy.
